[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 539472, member: 50236"] Here was a game where the Samoans were fired and wanted it so much more than the French and, I believe, this close win will do the French team a world of good. They started each half off as if they were asleep (or that victory was a mere formaility) but they fought and toughed out a victory over hard, and sometimes brutal (in a good way!), opposition who gave it their all. With some clear thinking and better goal kicking, Samoa could have won this one and maybe even deserved to! This kind of win is not something one would associate with the French of old but like the great golfers, great teams have to learn how to win when not playing wel and Les Bleus did herel. From a quasi-neutral pespective I would rate the match as a very interesting one but hardly great! PS I would have two citings for this weekend one for an AB and one for the Samoan....both for stiff arms and were they not both from wing forwards? [/QUOTE]
